Why not Minidiscs in the US?


Minidiscs seem to be very popular all around the world but have not taken a strong foothold in the US. However, since I own several minidisc decks,(and I think they are great) I keep an eye out for used equipment here and there, which seems to sell rather quickly!
I don't see much said about minidiscs in these forums and rarely see any equipment for sale in the classifieds.
Any comments?

I've been using mini discs since 1998 and have appreciated their forgiving nature during recording. I still use the JA20-es and a portable (which helps me ignore the sleep apnea machine I sleep with and sometimes my wife's noise....oops, I mean sounds) They were promising as the previous posters pointed out and I believe while not quite as dynamic as a cd their ease of use is still cool. I copy from cd to mini disc and have built a library that many friends have enjoyed.
